Developing a new faculty evaluation system for dental schools is complex. This five-year process, involving an intermediate model, aimed to improve feedback and align faculty with the school's mission.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Human Resources Management

Background:

  • Traditional faculty evaluation systems often suffer from rating inflation and inter-rater discrepancies.
  • Faculty self-image and institutional identity are deeply intertwined with evaluation processes.
  • Administrative edicts are insufficient for developing complex, identity-sensitive systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a new annual faculty evaluation system in a dental school.
  • To minimize rating inflation and inconsistencies among evaluators.
  • To enhance faculty feedback and align individual efforts with the school's overarching mission.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-year development process spanning five years.
  • Inclusion of an intermediate model to refine the system.

  • Qualitative analysis of faculty perceptions regarding fairness and process.

    • Main Results:

    • The new system successfully addressed previous issues of rating inflation and significant rater discrepancies.
    • Faculty members perceived the process as procedurally just, valuing fairness.
    • The evaluation system, focused on organizational mission, was better received than task-based evaluations.

    Conclusions:

    • Developing effective faculty evaluation systems requires a lengthy, iterative, and collaborative approach.
    • Faculty evaluation is inherently a political process influenced by perceptions of fairness.
    • A mission-centered performance appraisal system aligns with the evolving career model of knowledge professionals in academia.
